How Can Pain And Swelling In The Lower Back And Hips Be Treated?

Had a fall and injured hip. Pain and swelling are in the lower back and hip area. Hip was hit from the back during fall and not from the side. There is considerable swelling but no bruising has shown five hours later. Do I need to have it xrayed or just ice it and rest?
